Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Jim Carrey, Alan Arkin and James Gandolfini star in this comedy set amongst the cut-throat world of professional Vegas magicians. Superstar illusionists Burt Wonderstone (Carell) and sidekick Anton Marvelton (Buscemi) have ruled the strip for years, raking in millions with an act as big as Burt's ego. But as their friendship digresses into thinly veiled hatred, rising guerilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey) threatens to topple them.

"Pulls off the impressive trick of generating laughs on a consistent basis while spinning a clever scenario."

Variety
Variety"Carell and Carrey shine like sequinned suits in a comedy that allows them endless fun with the dressing-up box."
—
Total Film
Total Film"Can't transcend the fundamental problem built into movies and television shows about magic. It isn't really magic if you're watching it second hand."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"As ever with comedies like this, all the really funny stuff is in the opening 20 minutes. But it's entertaining with a scene-stealer from Alan Arkin."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"The Mildly Diverting Burt Wonderstone."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Some laughter but little magic in by-the-book Las Vegas comeback tale."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"The inconsistencies in tone - is it an Anchorman-style farce or something more serious? - distract from likeable turns from the leads."
—
Empire Magazine
Empire Magazine"Has its cornball charm, thanks largely to the confident work of old pros Carell, Arkin, and Buscemi, but it's ultimately a big, gaudy, predictable show, strictly for the rubes and tourists."
